Before we get any closerBefore we let it beginBefore our feelings take over usI wanna tell you one thingI'm just an ordinary girlWho needs some love in her lifeI won't pretend to me more than I amI've had some lovers beforeBut now I need something moreThan just a meaningless holding of handsI'm just an ordinary girlWho wants to reach out and findSomeone who honestly feels like I doLove is so a fragile thing I'd sooner never beginThan to find out too late, it's not true

Before we get any closerBefore we tell any liesBefore we make any promisesWe really ought to decideIs this a casual eventTwo ships that pass in the nightCould we find heaven out there just one timeOr are we closer than closeWith deeper feelings and mostCould ever know for the whole of their lives

Before we get any closerBefore we two become usI need to know if you'll always beSomeone to totally trustI'm just an ordinary girlWho needs some love in her lifeI won't pretend to me more than I amI've had some lovers beforeBut now I need something moreThan just a meaningless holding of handsIs this the casual eventTwo ships that pass in the nightCould we find heaven out there just one timeOr are we closer than closeWith deeper feelings and mostCouldn't ever know for the whole of their lives
